Automotive market trends: Volkswagen in Greece and Tata Motors in India

In the Greek market, Volkswagen offers several entry-level models starting below 20,000 euros. The most affordable option is the Taigo, a coupe-style SUV with a 1.0 TSI 95 PS engine, priced from 18,990 euros. It features a 440-liter trunk capacity. The T-Cross follows as a more traditional SUV option, starting at 19,990 euros with a 1.0 TSI 95 PS engine.

On a global scale, Tata Motors is preparing to launch the Aeris in the Indian market. The Smart version of this model is expected to cost approximately 529,000 rupees, which is roughly 4,849 euros. This low price point is attributed to India's specific market conditions, including low labor costs, tax exemptions for smaller vehicles, and strategic limitations on certain technological features.
